wow do you think the bigger tires caused you to fail due to the power loss or due to the over-sensitivity off the traction control braking system causing the spinning tires (probably all 4) to stop spinning (which would help it regain traction but caused you to stop in your case)?

The bigger tires lost power is true. But just like you said, the TCS maybe was the big trouble, when I jamed the engine RPM never go over 2000.

I have found this problem about 4 times already. Maybe next time I should take the ABS pump fuse out and test it.

All AWD Compass' have a Partial Off and a Full Off, your owners manual should cover that. The Sensor on the rear end is the ECC Module but there is also an AWD module located in the left front fender. either one or both may not be operating correctly or the wiring connecting them may be faulty. That could also affect your ESP on/off. The left to right power balance is done threw the braking system, not threw the ESP.

Someone else had this same question but while in snow. Sorry I'm forgetting what the out come was. I'll try and find the thread later but you maybe able to find it first by using the advanced search for 'snow' or 'traction' or 'slipping' in the Compass/Patriot section.
